mysql default login?

I've been fooling with mysql's user privilege system today, and I was wondering if there is a way to change the default user that mysql uses when someone just runs mysql, i.e.:

c:\mysql\bin\mysql

when I run mysql this way, there is no prompt for a password, it just dumps me straight to the mysql> prompt. The thing is that it seems to be using the root account, since I can do just about anything, including edit the mysql.user table. Any way to change this so that it prompts for a user name and password, or am I just being paranoid?
